Question

The solubility of gases in a liquid decreases with a rise in temperature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Solubility:

• The amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 grams of the solvent at a particular temperature is called its solubility.
• The solubility of gases in water decreases with a rise in temperature.
• Due to this, in summer fish in shallow ponds die. This is because the water in the ponds gets warm due to summer heat.
• As a result, the amount of dissolved oxygen in water decreases, and the fish in that pond die.

Therefore, the solubility of gases in a liquid decreases with a rise in temperature is true.
